Are you sugar sensitive?
You are probably wondering if you too are sugar sensitive. Let's start with an informal approach. Here's a simple question:
People who are sugar sensitive might eat the whole plateful if they weren't hungry. For a sugar sensitive person, hunger is not the driving motivation. Those cookies mean comfort.
Being sugar sensitive means you have a special biochemistry. You have a different relationship to sugar than a person with a "normal" biochemistry. Your heart sings at the sight of a newly opened box of candy, your molecules seem to jump to attention when you get a whiff of chocolate. This sensation of your body jumping to attention is not about greed. It is the natural response of a sugar-sensitive person whose brain has just realeased a powerful chemical called beta-endorphin in response to a certain smell.
When you eat chocolate, is there a part of you that actually feels a greater level of self-esteem? Chocolate enhancing self esteem may seem like an outrageous idea, but chocolate releases beta-endorphin, and beta-endorphin causes an increase in feelings of self esteem. Your relationship to sweet things is operating on a cellular level. It is much more powerful than you have realised.
The problem is, sugar induced self esteem doesn't last too long. And having your self esteem wear off that quickly is a pretty fragile way to live. The good news is you can evoke beta-endorphin linked self esteem without the negative and addictive effects of chocoloate. You do not need chocolate! You need a sense of self-esteem based on an inner sense of well-being that comes from biochemical balance, clarity and well-being. What you eat can have a huge effect on how you feel. We'll see how to develop a food plan that can help you overcome the drawbacks of the sugar sensitive body you inherited.

You may think the answer is obvious, but people who are not sugar sensitive respond by saying "Why would I eat a cookie if I wasn't hungry?"Imagine you come home and go to the kitchen. A plate of warm chocolate chip cookies sites on the counter just out of the oven. Their smell hits you as you walk in. You do not feel hungry. No one else is around. What do you do?
